This lone tree on a ridge above Dowley Gap, silhouetted against the sky, has often caught my eye. It has a rather pleasing shape and seems to be hanging on to its leaves, when all around are losing theirs. (A touch of Rudyard Kipling here, perhaps!)

ReplyDeleteThat looks like a stubborn oak. Is it?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photo. I love isolated trees like that. They even look good without leaves.
ReplyDeletebrilliant - I do so love trees - the stories they could tell :))
ReplyDeleteA great silhouette of a traditionally shaped tree. It is perfect and I doubt you'll get a cyclone to blow it down.
ReplyDeleteI like the trees that hang on longest. They help to make winter seem that tiny bit shorter :)
ReplyDeleteI agree. Simple but great composition... Effective. J
ReplyDeletegreat picture! trees are symbols of many things, life, hope,time, strength, trust, power..This one tells a lot!
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with a bit of Kipling
ReplyDeleteI love to Kiple...
ReplyDeleteNice composition! The shape reminds me of Steffe's tree from Sweden.
ReplyDeleteI love trees that stand alone like this. I have a favorite one that I drive by every time I visit Taos.
